precisely calculated for double taxation,

way. For instance, an owner of land was

ship, and be assessed thereon, although the
land was leased and the lessee paid tie taxes
by the very terms of the lease. At the same
time, the lessee was obliged to state the
amount of land in his possession by rent,
giving also the name of the owners thereof.
and he also was assessed for the same land.
1t could not be expected that, in the hands
of many assessors, either party could escape,
but both would be assessed for the same land
In other cases, the owner would be assessed
on eight times the yearly rent, while the les
see would be assessed on the amount of the
years rent; it being claimed that the law
compelled this. Admitting for arguments
sake that the law does require 1t, is not this
also another form of double taxation, and
